to the day.... this project started -
it was built on playa 17-19 days ago....
it burned 13 days ago.....
in many ways, it's STILL not real - it's gone, it served its purpose, yet still; in a way, it was just a dream ..... but in so many more it is beyond real
some have credited me with starting this... *I* did not... i just put a pencil to paper after a conversation with Gothalot ... i drew what we talked about, after he talked with Butterfly and Steamboat .... collectively we started this, and throughout it collectively WE - all of us - made it happen, we kept gathering more people who were pulled into it all.... we formed a community, we gifted the community with a temple, we gifted ourselves with each other - yet, not a one of us could have done it alone... not a one of us, alone, started it....
i am so glad to have been a part of this - i am so glad you were a part of this - i am so glad this was accomplished and given to our community
love to you all - and heartfelt thanks to you all

Re: 9 months ago...
Fri, September 12, 2008 - 12:55 PMHere here!
I look out into an empty field. The dusty carnage of our exploits. Having the Crane out in our field was like seeing a good friend every morning. Now its gone but in a way its not. I can still see it standing there. I can still remember everyone there standing, working, laughing and admiring the crane for what it was and what it would become.
I got to see it every day till it burned. What an awesome experience. -

Re: 9 months ago...
Fri, September 12, 2008 - 3:49 PMI was out there today, looking at the spot where it stood for so many months. It seems like a faint memory. Like the fantom laughs of children on a deserted playground. It was there and now it is not. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I keep waiting for some eternal moment to happen. For the total realization to hit me. Maybe it has and I'm just expecting something different. I wanted to feel relief as well as release when we burned it. Did it happen and I just wasn't aware of it?
Well shit gad !.....something just hit me as I typed this! We not only released Sembazuru into a flame of glory. I feel like I've truly gained a family and that replaces the feeling of "loss" that I was expecting to feel when it all ended. -

Fri, September 12, 2008 - 5:08 PMTowards the end of the burn, when we were just pushing at the last standing beams and waiting for them to burn through enough to fall, Em came up and told me,
"There was a crane here, but now it's gone."
"Well, where'd it go?" I asked.
"It flew away."
And in a way... it *did*.
